Safety First!

Switch off the power. Before you do any type of work, close the electricity to the locations you are going to be handling.

Sort Through The Damages.

Furniture. All of the furniture which has been drenched ought to be thrown away.

Carpet or rug. If your carpet has been saturated, dispose of it. The best process to dispose of it is to cut it into workable squares with a box cutter or knife. Roll up the areas, leaving the padding, and then cut the pad into strips and dispose of them too. Carpeting is held down by wooden tack strips thin strips of wood lined with hundreds of upside-down nails. These are extracted with a chisel and a hammer.

Millwork and Sheetrock . Any millwork, such as baseboards, should be taken off and thrown out. Remove soaked Sheetrock and any wet insulation behind it.

Cabinetry. When water has gone underneath your cabinets, you may need to remove these. If merely a modest measure of water went under them, you may well be able to save them. You could drill or cut holes in the toe kick-- the bottom-most area of the cabinet that rests on the flooring. The toe kick is slightly set back from the rest of the cabinet, so drilling into it will allow air to flow under the cabinet and dry it out. These holes are fairly easy to patch when you start the reconstruction .

Floor surfaces. Simply because your floor tile or hardwoods appear and feel completely dry to the touch does not indicate they are definitely entirely dry. A covering of roofing felt is laid in between the subfloor (plywood) and the hard wood flooring when hardwoods are set up. This sets up an effective moisture content barrier for the floor covering. It also holds much of the water that falls on the floors. Yet, there are machines that can pull out the water through the floors without removing them. Reviews though about this process are not the best with this process. If water is still present once you try this, you will need to remove the hardwood floor. Floor tile often has the similar issue water can come to be trapped between the tile and subfloor so you may well want to remove your tile floors as well.

Disposal Time

Obtain A Dumpster: When ordering a dumpster or another garbage bin, get the largest one made available. The pricing difference when comparing the various overall sizes is usually minor. Have a strategy in position prior to loading it up. You need to obtain the highest quantity of trash in to the smallest amount of area.

Use caution when piling items!

Break down objects before you throw them out, and verify that they lie flush on top of one another.

Ensure you can open the door to the bin, situated on one end. When you toss items above the top, you won't have the ability to pack the container efficiently.

Put the lighter materials on the bottom.

When water has gone underneath your cabinets, you might just want to remove these also. There are machines that can take out the water through the floors without having to remove them. If water is still found after you try this, you will have to take off the hardwood floor covering.
